He also spent a year as an adjunct professor in the Learning Framework department of Tyler Junior College.

He completed his coursework and certification in Educational Administration through Lamar University in 2018, and his M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction (Minor in History) from The University of Texas at Tyler in 2017. His master’s research project looked at secondary level teachers’ perceptions of the utilization of Chromebooks in the classroom.
